The Russian KGB developed "Liberation Theology" as another path to Global Revolution. Pope Francis may be a victim of it, or, he may be a perpetrator of it.

We all know, for we can see with our own eyes, that Pope Francis is a "Social Justice Warrior" cut from the same Cultural Marxist cloth as Dorothy Day, Saul Alinsky, Madam Hillary and Comrade Obama (peace be upon him). The question is how he got to be that way, and why he remains that way.

We talked about this question earlier, in New Way American Politics where we linked to an interview with anti-communist Brazilian writer and philosopher Olavo de Carvalh, at Triumph of Cultural Marxism. This interview revealed the deep penetration of Cultural Marxism into South American thought and politics, and the clear affect it had on the future Pope, living in Socialist Argentina, which was steeped in Leftist indoctrination, propaganda and disinformation. Much like the USA today.

Now, before any of you accuse me of going off the rails with negativity about our Pope, let me remind you that we speak unvarnished truth here, without political correctness or softening of any kind. And remember that, in 2,000 years of Catholic History, we have had many "bad" Popes, but the Church still stands, and her original teaching still stands, unchanged. And remember that Peter himself denied Jesus three times, and made other errors, but remained the first among equals. And remember that Judas Iscariot was one of the original Twelve, and a betrayer.

No Pope is perfect, no Bishop is perfect, any more than any mortal human being is perfect. If no one should have left the Church Christ founded over the imperfections of Peter or of Judas, then no one ought to leave the Church Christ Himself founded over any other Pope, or any other Bishop, or any other Priest.

Maybe this is old news, but it is new to me. So shoot me. Maybe it hasn't been widely reported to the public on purpose.

Here is the pull-quote from that interview published at Patheos:

Espionage deep in the heart of Europe. Secrets in the
KGB. Defection from a communist nation. Ion Mihai Pacepa has seen his
share of excitement, serving as general for Communist Romania’s secret
police before defecting to the United States in the late 1970s.

The
highest-ranking defector from communism in the ‘70s, he spoke to CNA
recently about the connection between the Soviet Union and Liberation
Theology in Latin America. Below are excerpts of the interview. All
footnotes were provided by Pacepa.

In general, could you say that the spreading of Liberation Theology had any kind of Soviet connection?

Yes.
I learned the fine points of the KGB involvement with Liberation
Theology from Soviet General Aleksandr Sakharovsky, communist Romania’s
chief razvedka (foreign intelligence) adviser – and my de facto boss,
until 1956, when he became head of the Soviet espionage service, the
PGU1, a position he held for an unprecedented record of 15 years.

On
October 26, 1959, Sakharovsky and his new boss, Nikita Khrushchev, came
to Romania for what would become known as “Khrushchev’s six-day
vacation.” He had never taken such a long vacation abroad, nor was his
stay in Romania really a vacation. Khrushchev wanted to go down in
history as the Soviet leader who had exported communism to Central and
South America. Romania was the only Latin country in the Soviet bloc,
and Khrushchev wanted to enroll her “Latin leaders” in his new
“liberation” war. . . .

Was the Theology of Liberation a
movement somehow “created” by Sakharovsky’s part of the KGB, or it was
an existing movement that was exacerbated by the USSR?

The
movement was born in the KGB, and it had a KGB-invented name:
Liberation Theology. During those years, the KGB had a penchant for
“liberation” movements. The National Liberation Army of Columbia (FARC),
created by the KGB with help from Fidel Castro; the “National
Liberation Army of Bolivia, created by the KGB with help from “Che”
Guevara; and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), created by the
KGB with help from Yasser Arafat are just a few additional “liberation”
movements born at the Lubyanka — the headquarters of the KGB.

The
birth of Liberation Theology was the intent of a 1960 super-secret
“Party-State Dezinformatsiya Program” approved by Aleksandr Shelepin,
the chairman of the KGB, and by Politburo member Aleksey Kirichenko, who
coordinated the Communist Party’s international policies. This program
demanded that the KGB take secret control of the World Council of
Churches (WCC), based in Geneva, Switzerland, and use it as cover for
converting Liberation Theology into a South American revolutionary tool.
The WCC was the largest international ecumenical organization after the
Vatican, representing some 550 million Christians of various
denominations throughout 120 countries.

The birth of a new religious movement is a historic event. How was this new religious movement launched?

The
KGB began by building an intermediate international religious
organization called the Christian Peace Conference (CPC), which was
headquartered in Prague. Its main task was to bring the KGB-created
Liberation Theology into the real world.

The new Christian Peace
Conference was managed by the KGB and was subordinated to the venerable
World Peace Council, another KGB creation, founded in 1949 and by then
also headquartered in Prague.

During my years at the top of the
Soviet bloc intelligence community I managed the Romanian operations of
the World Peace Council (WPC). It was as purely KGB as it gets. Most of
the WPC’s employees were undercover Soviet bloc intelligence officers.
The WPC’s two publications in French, Nouvelles perspectives and Courier
de la Paix, were also managed by undercover KGB – and Romanian DIE2
– intelligence officers. Even the money for the WPC budget came from
Moscow, delivered by the KGB in the form of laundered cash dollars to
hide their Soviet origin. In 1989, when the Soviet Union was on the
verge of collapse, the WPC publicly admitted that 90% of its money came
from the KGB3.

How did the Theology of Liberation start?

I
was not involved in the creation of Liberation Theology per se. From
Sakharovsky I learned, however, that in 1968 the KGB-created Christian
Peace Conference, supported by the world-wide World Peace Council, was
able to maneuver a group of leftist South American bishops into holding a
Conference of Latin American Bishops at Medellin, Colombia. The
Conference’s official task was to ameliorate poverty. Its undeclared
goal was to recognize a new religious movement encouraging the poor to
rebel against the “institutionalized violence of poverty,” and to
recommend the new movement to the World Council of Churches for official
approval.

The Medellin Conference achieved both goals. It also bought the KGB-born name “Liberation Theology.”

Does any of that sound familiar? It's the same "Liberation", whether applied to "Palestine" or to the World Council of Churches. Its all aimed at the spread of political falsehood masquerading as "Social Justice", growing atheistic Communism and inciting anti-Institution revolution.

It seems to me that the general lack of public knowledge about the Marxist authorship of Liberation Theology bears a strong resemblance to the general lack of public knowledge about Cultural Marxism itself. Could it be that Catholic Mainstream News is just as infected with Marxism as is the Secular Mainstream News?

Why do so many of us not know these long available facts, until today, when "alternative" media has broken out with super-available "news", which is totally new to us, yet has quietly existed for years?

The world's one final guard against such falsehood and error is the Catholic Church, which is supposed to be grounded in absolute Truth. The chief guardian of that absolute Truth is the Pope, to whom has been given the Keys, and the power to bind and to loose.

And what do we see?

A Pope who may go down in history as the "Who am I to judge?" Pope.

Who cannot answer five simple yes or no questions.

Pray for Pope Francis, for the Church, and for the World.

When I started to realize what the current Pope was doing and saying I got an uneasy feeling that maybe he was one of these people who was ordered into the priesthood to deliberately "change" the church, like what is reported in the book AA-1025: The Memoirs of an Anti-Apostle.

This business where he won't answer a few simple questions from some Cardinals, which has tradition in the Church, makes me wonder what kind of religious leader can he possibly be?

Date: Tue Jan 03 2017From: Vic BiorsethComment:

Eric:

The only descriptors that come to mind are vague, indecisive and weak.

Catholic Liberation is Liberation from Sin, not liberation from economic or political forces. But Liberation Theology emphasizes a false "Social Justice" of forced equality in material life over true equality of all men before the seats of justice.

So, I am not the only one seeing Pope Francis mixing global politics into Catholic theology, and favoring infecting a true Catholic sense of justice with a sense of purely material equality, sought at a global level.

Regards,

Vic

Popes enjoy the charism of Infallibility when teaching on faith and
morals, as established in the unchanging Deposit of Faith, they remain
human, and imperfect, as was Peter and the original Apostles. Popes can
err when not teaching on faith and morals, and whenever
speaking on matters outside the Deposit of Faith. Two of these areas,
particularly troubling in these days, involve Papal favor shown to areas
of Godless Marxist ideology, and to the belligerent, invasive,
domineering and menacing false religion of Islam.

"We belong to the Church militant; and She is militant because on earth the powers of darkness are ever restless to encompass Her destruction. Not only in the far-off centuries of the early Church, but down through the ages and in this our day, the enemies of God and Christian civilization make bold to attack the Creator’s supreme dominion and sacrosanct human rights.”--Pope Pius XII

“ … for I have sworn upon
the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind
of man.” wrote Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush in
the year of our Lord 1800. The context
involved resistance to any form of Christianity or Deism legally imposing
itself throughout the USA. We must wonder what he might say
about our current government's forced imposition of strict secularism – i.e.,
anti-theism – throughout the USA. I submit that legally enforced secularism of society, like theocracy, like Marxism,
and like Islam, is, precisely, a form of tyranny over the mind of man.Nothing good can come from the religious cleansing of Judaeo-Christian society. Government imposed secularism is just another form of theocracy.
